How to use Nipple Clamps

Nipples are an erogenous zone that deserves plenty of attention during sex, foreplay and masturbation. Nipple clamps are the perfect sex toy to stimulate your nipples during sexual activity.

Nipple clamps work by applying pressure to the nipples, causing more blood to flow to them, which in turn creates even more sensations around the area. People who use nipple clamps describe the sensation as an intense pinching sensation. The clamps are often associated with BDSM, as the dominant partner may attach them to the submissive as a form of power play. However, nipple clamps can are enjoyed by numerous people outside of the fetish world. Nipple play in general is probably often used in your sexual sessions, be it rubbing or licking, you are stimulating your partners erogenous zones. A study showed that rubbing the nipples actually releases sensations that are processed in the same area of the brain as sensations are when the clitoris or vagina are stimulated.

As such nipple play can really heighten your sex sessions, and a great way to do this is by using different types of nipple toys. There are a few different types of nipple clamps, below we discuss the different types and how you would go about using them.

First off there are clothes-pin styled clamps, these work like common household pins. They are two short pieces of metal that are joined together with a spring, forcing one end to stay closed. This type of clamp often comes with a screw that allows your to adjust the pressure. When using this nipple clamp start off by touching your nipple, making it harder and erect. Then gently put the clamp over your nipple and start twisting it, making it tighter on your nipple. Start off slowly tightening it, and tighten more if you feel comfortable.

There are also tweezer styled nipple clamps, these consist of two lengths of metal that are fixed together at one end. The open ends are usually curved, allowing the user to provide more pressure on the nipples. These ends may also feature rubber tips to make them even more comfortable to wear for longer periods of time, this also makes them less likely to slip off. The base of tweezer styled clamps features a ring that if you push towards the tips causes the tweezers to be tighter, and applies more pressure to the nipples. These are our most popular selling types of nipple clamps due to their beginner friendly design.

Finally, there are clover clamps, these nipple clamps are also known as butterfly clamps. They are a Japanese design and provide more and more tension if pulled. These clamps are usually flat and provide a very high pain level to the wearer, so it is advised that these are only used by experienced BDSM practitioners. To increase stimulation even further some people add weights to the clamps, which increases the tension on the nipples. They are used like any other type of nipple clamp, and although they are more for expert users, they are also extremely popular.
